new relic weapon

[Rasler_Heios]

I was able to get all 17 relic weapons during 5.35 stages. I knew the 5.45 stages will be harder, so I said I'll try one for my main first and see how difficult it is before deciding whether to get more. I completed 15 runs of Crystal Tower and then was told to get 18 memories from HW Alliance raids or Gyr Abania FATEs and then 18 memories from either Ivalice or Far Eastern FATEs. Had I known that the FATEs is random drop this time around, I probably would not have progressed further. I was doing those FATEs for three hours alongside many other players who had the same idea (was levelling my Blue Mage at the same time, to kill two birds in one stone) and boy got only 1 memory. At this rate, the Alliance Raids would be faster. I may have to go through this because my main job relic is currently not glowing having done the previous step. I will definitely not do this for all my other jobs.

Rumor has it, you only need to do that step with the 18 drops from mhach/ivalice once. But there is another step after to give it the glow. The first 15 and w/e that last one is are the only ones you apparently need to repeat for subsequent weapons.

Yeah. It's still a bit of a grind but it will in theory be slightly less miserable than having to spam Rabanastre and Void Ark.

I hope. I am 9/8 on the mhach/ivalice drops so far since I am doing it casually and it is the most painful grind I have done yet in this game. And I did around 5-6 atma weapons pre-nerf. I tried farming fates but after an hour of solid farming with 0 drops I gave up and went back to another mhach. This is just beyond ridiculous.

It got confirmed once you complete the Void Ark/Ivalice memories you won't need to do them again for more weapons, Crystal Tower however you will need to. Just join the Blue Mage Alliance they absolutely destroy them, Blue Mage Alliance can Syrcus Tower in 10 mins tops.

I like how Crystal Tower is the one they keep around. Because we just have to keep incentivizing that content no one ever runs. It never, EVER pops for Alliance nor is it mandatory for MSQ...

In Roulette? It's always Crystal Tower in Chaos.

Yeah, it is the same way on Crystal. I've seen Rabanastre a good bit the last few days though through roulette, but we have the relic grind to thank for that.

I think they were being sarcastic, given they mentioned it's not mandatory for the MSQ as part of their quip, which is obviously not the case lol.
they were just pointing out that out of the three raids, they chose the one that already is guaranteed 99% of the time in Alliance roulette, rather than choosing Mhachi or Ivalice to be the part of the step you have to do for each relic.

Thanks good to know. I’ve completed the Void Ark / Ivalice step already. I spammed them the last couple of days. I’m now in the Delubrum/PotD step, which are even more tedious. Oh well, it is penultimate stage of a relic after all.
